The story
The company was established in 1989 by Peter Harrison and David Imrie in partnership with Cadogan Estates. Cadogan Estates sold its 70% stake in the chain to its management, led by Peter Harrison, in December 2001. In August 2002, Furniture Village bought three Conroys stores from the administrators to give it a presence in North East England. Also in 2002, the company launched an upmarket retail brand, the London Furniture Company, but this was unsuccessful and closed in 2005.
